When I was fifteen years old I thought God told me who I was going to marry. I could even quote a Bible verse explaining my reasoning. It’s embarrassing to type that now, but back then I was convinced that God used a Bible verse to tell me I was going to marry one of my guy friends.
Imagine my devastation when he married someone else. I was shocked. By then I was well over the guy but I couldn’t seem to wrap my mind around one thing: God lied to me, or so I thought. I read the verse and re-read it. I knew what it said. But I didn’t know what it meant — or what the original author intended for it to mean, anyway.
